Readers react to stories from last week. Last week we reported that Matt Gaetz, Florida’s 1st District congressman and the state’s largest boy, led the small group of Republicans who protested the closed impeachment hearings by storming the secure room of the Capitol building and documenting it all on their phones (“Florida Rep. Matt Gaetz and a bunch of other idiots just committed a dangerous breach of national security,” Oct. 23). While most of our commenters decried these actions, which have become a national talking point and made Florida look extra dumb yet again, they were championed by the crew of trolls with atrocious spelling skills who like to congregate on Orlando Weekly’s Facebook page. @George Freeman No all they did is challenge this very unfair which hunt!!!!!! @Django Kajan What a bunch of pussys Crying to wolf..What good for the its good for Democrats know Screw You GOP “Noncommittee members are NOT allowed in the room during the deposition. Those are the RULES. NO exceptions made.” – Trey GowdySC 6/15/2015
@Vickie Otto Powell The DemonicRats won’t even name a leaker .... there was none! Schiff is making this up as he goes along! What a “kangaroo” court! (No offense to the sweet animal kangaroos). @Eric Peterson It is pertinent to point out that they could only get 20 out of 199 house Republicans to pull this stunt. That seems to be what we are all missing. 179 disagreed with it and considered it nothing more than what it is... A stunt! @Alan Zark Mr Gaetz often acts like a spoiled rotten kid. Now he has playmates going along with him. Truly sad behavior @Jim Scott Oh look the corrupt little boy whose Daddy bought his seat for him is stomping his tiny feet and breaking the law, again. What an embarrassment for a state that already doesn’t have much left in the way of honor. @Charla Childers Yeah, he’s a massive embarrassment to Florida – & that bar is already REALLY low. Signed, a native Floridian.

Cops warn of THC-laced Halloween candy (again), Orlando International Airport has hella long customs waits, Universal’s Epic Universe to open in 2023 and other news you may have missed »
No one’s giving your kids weed this Halloween, but Florida police are warning parents about it anyway: Every year law enforcement agencies across the country warn parents of the possibility that someone out there would rather give away marijuana for Halloween than funsize Snickers bars, and every year it absolutely doesn’t happen. Last week the Neptune Police Department posted photos to their Facebook account of a recent drug bust. “As Halloween approaches, always check your children’s candy!” reads the caption. “536 grams of gummy-style soft candy laced with THC (the active ingredient in marijuana) was recently discovered during a traffic stop. This candy looks very similar to regular ‘gummy bear’ or ‘sour patch’ type products.” While it’s good to remind parents to always check Halloween bags for suspicious treats like unwrapped candy (or disgusting candy corn), it’s another thing entirely to imply that THC-laced candy will randomly be dished out to trick-or-treaters, a myth that’s been debunked repeatedly. Kids actually have a better chance of getting Ebola, getting hit by a car or having an allergic reaction to a peanut on Halloween night than accidentally getting high from a gummy bear by being duped into eating a marijuana-laced edible. For one thing, marijuana is just flat-out expensive. A single THC-laced or CBD-infused gummy can cost around $4, and a single gourmet chocolate treat or cookie can run as high as $10 to $15. It would be much cheaper (not to mention highly appreciated) to hand out full-size Snickers.

Orlando International has the longest U.S. customs wait time of any airport in the country: If you’ve ever taken an international flight to Orlando International Airport and waited through U.S. Customs for longer than usual, you are not alone. In fact, a new study says MCO has the longest customs wait times of any airport in the country. The report, from United Arab Emirates property website Bayut, found that Orlando International ranks dead last when it comes to processing travelers quickly, with an average wait time of 25.8 minutes. The study also ranks Orlando among the very slowest airports at processing Labor Day weekend travelers in particular. During Thanksgiving and Christmas, most flights are domestic and international travelers usually get a break. Between Memorial Day and Labor Day, arriving travelers can expect wait times as high as 51 minutes.

Orlando’s next theme park, Universal’s Epic Universe, will open in 2023: Universal Studios first announced Epic Universe, its fourth Central Florida park, Aug. 1. Now we know it’s set to open in 2023, according to company officials during a Comcast earnings call on Thursday. The 750-acre park will be built in the area surrounding the Orange County Convention Center, along Universal Boulevard, and will be Universal’s first project since completing Volcano Bay back in 2017. Right below Disney and AdventHealth, Universal is the third largest employer in the Orlando area, with an estimated 25,000 Central Florida employees, according to Orlando Business Journal. Universal’s properties bring in an estimated 20 million visitors between Universal Studios, Islands of Adventure and Volcano Bay. Resort officials expect an additional 14,000 jobs to be added for the park’s creation along with new hotels, restaurants and venues. orlandoweekly.com

WHEN IS ENOUGH ENOUGH?
The Republican Party is following a pied piper over a cliff, and its leaders are too ignorant to see it or too cowardly to stop it BY JEFFREY C. BILL M A N
L
ast week, as I read the unequivocally damning 15-page opening statement William B. Taylor gave to House investigators, I wondered what the final straw would look like, and more specifically, whether one would ever exist. In other words, what would it take for Republicans to decide that enough is enough — that there is a line and Trump has crossed it? We know what hasn’t done the trick. It hasn’t been the deluge of lies and unremitting narcissism, the multiple instances of obstruction of justice documented in the Mueller report, the allegations of sexual misconduct and assault, or the sustained attacks on the free press. It hasn’t been siding with white supremacists or ripping migrant children from their parents or abandoning the Kurds in northern Syria to the slaughter at the behest of autocrats in Turkey and Russia. And now, with increasing clarity, we know that he used American foreign policy to push foreign governments to dig up dirt on his political enemies. Taylor, the top American diplomat in Ukraine, detailed how Donald Trump had made hundreds of millions of dollars in military aid contingent on a public statement from Ukraine’s president that his government was investigating the Bidens and a debunked conspiracy theory about Ukrainian interference in the 2016 U.S. election, things Trump could then use to muddy the waters of his own corruption next year. This was the clearest evidence yet of a quid pro quo, and it came not
from a faceless whistleblower but from a Republican with whom Trump’s secretary of state had pleaded to take the Ukraine gig. To get a sense of how bad this was, consider the administration’s reaction: On Tuesday, the day Taylor testified, Trump rage-tweeted that the impeachment proceedings were a “lynching”; his press shop halfheartedly called it a “coordinated smear campaign from far-left lawmakers and radical unelected bureaucrats,” ignoring the fact that this particular unelected bureaucrat was their own guy. On Wednesday, with the White House’s encouragement, a group of Republican congressmen made a clownish spectacle of storming a secure room in the Capitol to disrupt a deposition, some breaching national security protocols by bringing and using their cell phones. And on Thursday, the Department of Justice leaked that its investigation into the origins of its own Trump-Russia probe had suddenly become a criminal investigation, as if a blind man couldn’t see through that charade. If there’s any coherence to Trump’s strategy, it’s no longer convincing the public at large that he did nothing wrong. It’s keeping enough Senate Republicans in line and giving them any thread to cling to. Right now, that thread is process — the notion that House Democrats are being unfair to Trump. Process arguments tend to be weak — the place you go when you can’t argue the merits — and this one’s no different. Democrats are abiding by rules
Republicans set when they held the House following the tea party wave of 2010, and Republicans eliminated a requirement for a full House vote before committees can authorize their staffs to conduct depositions. So yes, depositions are taken behind closed doors — as they were during the endless Benghazi investigations — but that makes sense, since you wouldn’t want witnesses being intimidated or coordinated their stories. And Republicans on the three committees involved in the inquiry can participate in the depositions. Most important, all of this will be replayed in public hearings before the House votes to impeach, and Trump will get to defend himself during a Senate trial. Still, process is good enough for now. Last week, all but three Republican senators — Mitt Romney, Susan Collins and Lisa Murkowski — co-sponsored Lindsey Graham’s resolution condemning the House’s impeachment inquiry. But five other Republicans declined to do so right away, and Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell reportedly had to water down the resolution’s initial commitment to vote against removing Trump to get the caucus on board, focusing instead on the alleged lack of “due process.” At least some Republicans, it seems, were worried about tying themselves so closely to Trump at such a precarious moment. But right now, they’re still in his corner — and looking for any excuse to stay there. When Democrats went to the wall for Bill Clinton 20 years ago, Clinton was a popular second-term president accused of lying about an affair. Trump is accused of something far more consequential, and at about 40 percent approval, he’s anything but popular — about 20 points below where Clinton was in the run-up to his impeachment. Clinton was presiding over a surging economy; Trump inherited a recovery that is slowing down and showing signs of wear. Longer-term, Trump’s coalition — old, white, evangelical — represents America’s demographic past, not its future. The Republican Party is following a pied piper over a cliff, and its leaders are either too ignorant to see it or too cowardly to stop it. Of course, if this hollowed-out shell of moral depravity is what the Party of Lincoln has become, its collapse can’t come soon enough. feedback@orlandoweekly.com orlandoweekly.com

BROWARD SHERIFF SENT PACKING Ignoring the recommendation of a special master, the Florida Senate sided with Gov. Ron DeSantis and removed former Broward County Sheriff Scott Israel from office BY DARA KA M, N SF
F
lorida lore has it that county sheriffs are kings. Especially in rural regions, the elected law enforcement officials have wielded nearly unfettered power. State law deigns sheriffs “the conservators of the peace in their counties” and endows them with the authority to “suppress tumults, riots, and unlawful assemblies in their counties with force and strong hand when necessary.” They also have the power to “apprehend, without warrant, any person disturbing the peace.” But as mighty as county sheriffs might be, the governor and the state Senate ultimately command even greater clout. This week, the Republican-dominated Senate flexed its muscle, overruling a special master’s recommendation and supporting Gov. Ron DeSantis’ move to strip former Broward County Sheriff Scott Israel of his job. Senators have the authority to remove or reinstate elected officials and could have allowed the embattled sheriff, who hasn’t been charged with any crime, to keep his job. They’ve done it before. More than three decades ago, the Senate reinstated a Franklin County sheriff who was suspended by thenGov. Reubin Askew. According to Senate records, the Panhandle sheriff, Jack Taylor, Jr., was accused of using prisoners who were locked up at the county jail for his personal purposes. Taylor allowed prisoners to go on unsupervised visits to their homes, fish with their friends on St. George Island and gad about to other places. Taylor also gave permission for prisoners to use county vehicles to drive around town, which resulted on one occasion in an inmate being arrested for drunken driving. Taylor also bought a gun from an inmate in his own hoosegow, so the prisoner could pay bond and get out of jail. But siding with Special Master Stephen Kahn in 1978, the Senate decided that, while Taylor may have violated the law, his conduct was not “sufficiently wrongful to warrant his removal from office to which he had been elected by a majority of the electorate.”
Israel, a Democrat who was first elected by Broward County voters in 2012 and re-elected in 2016 with overwhelming support, hopes to get his old job back at the ballot box next year. In a county dominated by Democrats, Israel’s removal by the Republican governor and the GOP-controlled Senate will surely play a starring role in the race. But the legal saga surrounding Israel likely isn’t over. His lawyer, Benedict Kuehne, indicated the former sheriff will challenge the Senate’s decision, which Israel decried on behalf of the Broward electorate. “Your vote has been stolen and the results of our 2016 election have been overturned. From 450 miles away, the governor substituted his judgment for yours and installed his own sheriff in Broward County,” Israel said in a prepared statement.
ONE FOR THE HISTORY BOOKS
Heeding the pleas of parents whose children were slaughtered in the state’s worst school shooting, the Senate delivered a major victory Wednesday to DeSantis by removing Israel from office. DeSantis, as a candidate for governor last year, pledged to oust Israel for failures associated with the February 2018 mass shooting at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School that left 14 students and three staff members dead and another 17 people injured. In one of his first acts after taking office in January,
the governor suspended Israel, accusing the sheriff of “incompetence” and neglect of duty for the sheriff’s office’s handling of the Parkland school massacre and a mass shooting at the Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport in 2017 that killed five people. DeSantis thanked the Senate for backing his decision to oust Israel. “I hope the outcome provides some measure of relief to the Parkland families that have been doggedly pursuing accountability,” DeSantis tweeted following Wednesday’s 25-15 vote. The full Senate vote – in which three Democrats joined the Republican majority – came two days after the Senate Rules Committee ignored Special Master Dudley Goodlette’s recommendation that Israel should be reinstated. The committee vote came after emotional entreaties from family members of the Parkland victims. On Wednesday afternoon, a cadre of the Parkland family members watched from the public gallery during more than two hours of impassioned Senate debate that highlighted a conundrum facing many lawmakers. Sen. Tom Lee, a former Senate president and the lone Republican to oppose Israel’s removal, sparked the discussion with a warning about the precedent-setting nature of removing an elected official who has not been charged with any crimes. “We’re not voting on anything that’s in your mind or anything that’s in your conscience. We’re voting on what’s in the (governor’s) executive order,” Lee, R-Thonotosassa, said during floor debate. “Forevermore, what we do here today, in support or opposition to this executive order, is now a part of legislative lore. It is precedent.” But Sen. Rob Bradley, a Fleming Island Republican who is a former prosecutor, argued Israel “got his day in court” when he made his case before the Senate special master. Bradley emphasized the state Constitution gives the Senate the power to decide his fate. “I am quite comfortable that if we are talking about precedent, if a future Senate wants to see how to do one of these things, this would be a very, very good model to use going forward. I think that it has been a model that should actually be admired and repeated,” Bradley said. feedback@orlandoweekly.com
“As I’ve said before, he was not the right man for the job.” – Tony Montalto, whose daughter was among the 17 students and staff members slain during last year’s mass shooting at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School. Montalto spoke after the Senate voted 25-15 to strip Israel of his post.

RACE DaY Four-term Orlando Mayor Buddy Dyer faces two highly motivated challengers, while District 6 will have a new commissioner no matter what. A look at the 2019 City of Orlando ballot
A
BY SOLOMON GUSTAVO
s easy as it is to get sucked into the still-distant 2020 presidential election, next Tuesday is your last chance to vote in the general election for Orlando’s city council races. Two challengers are taking a run at Mayor Buddy Dyer’s office, and three are vying for the wide-open District 6 seat. Two incumbents on the council went uncontested this election cycle. Commissioner Patty Sheehan won another term in District 4, after her late-filing newcomer opponent, Corey DeVogel, dropped out less than two months before Tuesday’s vote. Commissioner Tony Ortiz won another term in District 2 without a challenger. No one even bothered to file for that one. Ortiz’s default win means he’ll be starting his fourth term. Sheehan’s next term is her sixth, making her the longest-running incumbent on the council. Dyer, who’s been the City Hall head honcho since 2003, is running for his fifth term. Having a familiar face as Orlando Mayor is nothing new; the last time the city had a one-term boss was in the 1950s. But at least a couple of people feel Dyer’s time is up. Though no one came clamoring to unseat Sheehan and Ortiz, ex-Navy businessperson Aretha Simons and Commissioner Sam Ings, who is vacating his District 6 seat to take his shot, have joined the mayoral race. At the very least, it won’t be a cakewalk for Dyer. So Buddy – who walloped his 2015 opponent by more than 30 points – now
faces a light jog against the two challengers. Maybe call it a cake-skip. Simons and Ings have shown they’re not going to cower from a fight, even against a towering favorite. Ings has been after Dyer’s seat and gavel for over a decade, waiting for the right time to take a swing at the heavyweight. Having served only a few feet away, Ings has been limited by the “strong mayor” model that allows Dyer to set the voting agendas, often leaving his grumbling colleagues to go along with the plan. Simons wants Orlando City Hall to dole out reparations to African American slave descendants, which is a move akin to a boxer lighting her gloves on fire and putting them back on for the bout. The heat is definitely on to replace Ings in District 6, as Ings clearing the way has left an open political field for three candidates. Former state Sen. Gary Siplin, longtime local business owner Lawanna Gelzer and nonprofit executive Bakari Burns are all angling to be the new face on the council. In the end, it’s up to you. Here’s hoping this voting guide helps you get a sense for each candidate’s values and strengths. Early voting started Monday, Oct. 28, and ends Sunday, Nov. 3. The election will take place on Tuesday, Nov. 5. Check your registration and voting location at ocfelections. com. Happy voting! feedback@orlandoweekly.com

MAYORAL RACE Incumbent Buddy Dyer
Treasure chest: $850,000 Sixteen years since Buddy Dyer first took office in 2003, he seeks re-election, touting his years of hardearned know-how. He certainly knows how to win elections, routinely racking up victories clearing the next vote-getter by more than 20 points. Headed into this race, which would gain him his fifth term as Orlando mayor, he once again holds an aura of the overpowering perennial favorite over the competition: Commissioner Sam Ings and ex-Navy businessperson Aretha Simons. Dyer’s experience as City Hall boss could be the difference in effectively seizing a new opportunity for the city, argues the Orlando native and former state senator, or in seeing through one of the projects or policies launched during his decade and change in office. “I’m known as a builder,” says Dyer. He wants to finish what he’s started, and he believes he’s gained the skill to be an even more effective mayor. Under his watch, the ambition to build a University of Central Florida college of medicine at Lake Nona has led to the development of the Lake Nona Medical City. In the face of over 30 years of failed efforts and political handwringing, Dyer championed the SunRail transit program. And he wasn’t done revitalizing there, spearheading efforts to revamp downtown Orlando with the Creative Village and bringing Major League Soccer to the city center. “My highest and lowest moment both revolve around the same thing,” says Dyer of his lengthy tenure. “The June 12 shooting of Pulse Nightclub, the lowlight in probably our community’s life.” He adds that the community response of compassion and love in the days following the tragedy doubled as his proudest as mayor. Part of Dyer’s hard-earned experience includes knowledge of less-proud times, too, like being indicted for campaign violations. In 2005 he was charged with illegally hiring a staffer to collect absentee ballots and suspended from office by then-Governor Jeb Bush, only to be reinstated in less than two months after charges were dropped. Although both challengers Simons and Ings – but particularly Ings – have made perhaps predictable stinks about the now-dissipated whiff of improbity, the whole thing kind of went away with little impact (aside from launching the brief mayoral campaign of OW writer Billy Manes, but that’s another story). And that was 15 years ago. Dyer’s go-to word in this campaign is “momentum.” With solid name recognition, a knack for steamrolling re-elections, and splashy recent moves like bringing EA Sports’ headquarters downtown and approving a $15 minimum wage, Dyer just wants to keep the energy going. “The issue front and center right now is affordable housing,” says Dyer, who says he’s committed to carrying his mo’ into viable answers for the homeless and the more than 1,000 people who move to Central Florida each week. He says he’s up for “using every tool we have in the toolbox,” like community land trust deals similar to the 83 affordable housing units in Parramore approved in February and the five-acre land trust on Orange Center Boulevard OK’d in May. Other ongoing projects Dyer wants another term to cap off include finishing the Southern Terminal Complex at Orlando International Airport and connecting SunRail 16
to the Creative Village. He doesn’t support term limits, noting if they want him out, people can just vote him out. And “If I ever lost my enthusiasm for this job,” says Dyer, “I wouldn’t run again.”
Challenger Sam Ings
Treasure chest: $92,000 Before serving his community as Orlando City Commissioner for 13 years, Sam Ings protected it with the Orlando Police Department. Hailing from Orlando, raised by a pastor for a mother and Orlando’s first black detective for a father, Ings graduated from Boone High School in 1970. He was a police cadet for two and a half years and joined the police force in 1973. He retired as a police commander in 2014. “All my life has been about protecting the community and serving it,” says Ings. Before joining the council in 2006, Ings ran for mayor in 2003, losing to Buddy Dyer. Ings has been itching to unseat Dyer ever since. Ings has stepped into this year’s race because he feels it’s time for a new voice, and for Orlando’s mayor, going forward, to have no more than three terms seated in the middle chair of the council chambers. Ings and Dyer have repeatedly butted heads on the council, on issues including the shuttering of Grand Avenue School in 2017 and the destruction of Tinker Field in 2015. Ings felt there were ways the historic school and minor league ballpark could have been used to enrich the largely black neighborhoods surrounding the former landmarks. He doesn’t think the recreation center that replaced Grand Avenue School, or the concert venue in lieu of the grandstands and playing surface at Tinker Field, do much to help those living in the immediate surroundings. Ings promises, if elected, to be more considerate in more personal ways. “Think of the elderly; a lot of elderly live near the concert venue. It’s loud,” he says, also claiming that the concert activity has contributed to an uptick in overdoses in the immediate area. Grand Avenue School was moved to the Creative Village, another favorite project of Dyer’s that Ings questions. The Creative Village itself was built where Nap Ford Community School, a bastion for black education, used to stand. “They opened their doors for everybody, not just African Americans,” says Ings, adding the city “lost a huge opportunity” to invest in an institution that engages with more kinds of Orlando residents. But Ings did more during his council tenure than tussle with Dyer. He says he’s most proud of road improvements, especially on I-Drive, that make Orlando more walkable and add dedicated bus lanes; the naming and dedication of President Barack Obama Parkway; and the proliferation of police substations, making the statement to drug dealers, Ings says, that “we’re not going to tolerate you.” As mayor, Ings says he’d wield his city council experience to enact real change for different communities. He believes property owned by the city, like empty lots in Holden Heights, could be used for affordable housing. He is against community land trusts, arguing that the city can help its poorest and most marginalized residents build wealth through rent-to-own programs. He realizes that the mayor must balance protecting and increasing the affordable housing stock with incentivizing developers to come to Orlando, preferably to diverse locales within the city.
ORLANDO WEEKLY ● OCT. 30-NOV. 5, 2019 ● orlandoweekly.com
“The voices of all the people need to be heard,” says Ings, adding that a more connected Orlando is better for the city and all its residents, including their bottom line.
Challenger Aretha Simons
Treasure chest: $50,000 For first-time mayoral candidate Aretha Simons, justice has no expiration date. She believes in reparations for the African American descendants of slaves and believes that Orlando City Council could dole out restorative resources in recompense for centuries of unspeakable damages, in the form of discounts for city services and reduced-price housing permits. As for deciding who qualifies, Simons suggests using whatever records are available to assess someone’s origin. “There are ways of figuring that out. It can be done,” says Simons. After growing up in Arcadia, Florida, Simons spent 20 years in the Navy. “For the most part, I enjoyed it,” she said. “Except during wartime. I thought there would never be a war.” Simons served active duty stints during Desert Storm and after 9/11. She has a bachelor’s degree in business from the University of Phoenix and a master’s in education from Nova Southeastern University, both of which come in handy for her business, Multiplying Talents, a firm that helps people start nonprofits. Although in her eyes, the window for indemnification never shuts, the period of time someone is mayor should be fixed, slamming shut before any one person can become too powerful. She thinks mayors should be limited to three terms. Mayor Dyer is finishing up his fourth. Simons says Orlando’s government needs a shake-up, an infusion of new leadership that will work to better engage residents in city decisions. The old guard has allowed the economy to inequitably tilt toward the few and has let gentrification roll over lower-income families who have called now-desirable neighborhoods home for generations, she says. A way out, she argues, is through cutting “wastefulness.” There’s no way, in her mind, that the affordable housing crisis and homelessness can be squelched while spending millions on parkland and development areas like Creative Village that seem designed specifically for the well-to-do. If elected, Simons says, she would spend her first weeks pushing simple solutions to make life nicer for those who don’t seem to have ready access to the seat of city power – like purchasing 100 eco-friendly buses to bolster the city’s lackluster transit system. She would allocate money and time to improve crime prevention while evening out how each Orlando neighborhood is policed, so more kinds of communities are comfortable with Orlando cops. Simons got into the business of helping people launch nonprofits because one day she was asked by a friend to help with start-up paperwork. Then someone else asked, then someone else. Simons noticed a service gap and realized that she had the skills to fill it. She also has a culinary degree. She pursued this because she liked to bake, then a friend asked her to bake her wedding cake. It was so good that someone else asked, and again Simons sprung into action. She believes she can do the same for Orlando residents – listen to their concerns, find gaps of service and protection, and find ways to do something about it. That is, if she can dethrone, as she calls him, “King Dyer.”
DISTRICT 6 RACE
Neighborhoods: Holden Heights, MetroWest, Washington Shores and Universal Studios
Challenger Lawanna Gelzer
Treasure chest: $23,000 To those who don’t work for the city or attend city meetings, Lawanna Gelzer is largely an unknown. For those who do work for the city, who do make it to city council and advisory board meetings, Gelzer has been a consistent, well-known presence for going on 30 years. “I take care of the 99 percent,” says Gelzer, who prides herself on “amicably” standing in front of policymakers and asking questions. “I would like to see how you make the decision as to why you pave some streets before others.” She is also no stranger to the campaign trail; this bid for District 6 marks at least the seventh time Gelzer has run for public office in Orlando. She has never won. Her other claim to city government notoriety happened during the election fraud trial of Mayor Buddy Dyer in 2005, when he was indicted on charges of illegally paying a staffer to collect absentee ballots. Dyer was yanked from office but quickly returned after charges were dropped. “The reason Dyer has a mugshot is because of me,” says Gelzer, who was named as a plaintiff in the suit. She says she received threats from people telling her there would be consequences if she didn’t leave Dyer alone. Gelzer says she wasn’t afraid, the same way she isn’t when she demands an explanation from city officials at meetings. The $20,000 Gelzer has raised for this campaign, and every one she’s run, has come entirely from friends, family, the occasional fish fry and her own pockets. “I’m unbossed and unbought,” Gelzer says, echoing iconic presidential candidate Shirley Chisholm. Born in Jacksonville, Gelzer moved with her family to Parramore when she was young, and she was raised there. She graduated from Edgewater High School and has a degree in economics from Rollins College. Gelzer has worked for an HIV treatment agency and in finance, legal services and various nonprofit organizations. She currently owns and operates Peabo Child Care Center, which her family founded 41 years ago. One Orlando Police policy Gelzer would like to address as a commissioner is the use of force. She believes early escalation contributes to Orlando holding a top spot on the list of cities with the most excessive force cases. Those cases cost the city a lot of money. And neighborhoods like the very black Parramore tend to be where the police resort to excessive force first. “Crime is everywhere,” says Gelzer. “Apply the same policing everywhere.” She’s for increasing affordable housing in the district, but against using community land trusts. Instead of spending $7 million on a park or simply giving land to the University of Central Florida, she thinks Orlando should buy land to build affordable rentals or sell to residents. If elected, Gelzer says she’d make sure District 6 moves up Orlando’s list for repairs. She says there are partnerships to be had with the booming tourist companies who rake in huge profits just down the road from people who need homes. “Disney World and Universal Studios bring in revenue in the district, but we clearly don’t see that return,” says Gelzer. In short, Gelzer says she’s the right candidate for commissioner because she has been around city business specific to District 6 longer than anyone else. “I’m the most qualified,” says Gelzer.
Challenger Bakari Burns
Treasure chest: $41,000 Culminating four years of hard work at Jones High School, in 1992 Bakari Burns was awarded a full college scholarship from Walt Disney World. “I’ve always said, me accepting that scholarship was like me signing a promissory note to my community,” Burns says. “That I would come back and invest my talents and skills into the community that invested in me.” Burns grew up in the District 6 neighborhood of Richmond Heights, leaving to get a healthcare management degree from Florida A&M. It took 16 years, but Burns made good on his promise to return to give back to the community that propped him up and launched him into the professional world with a degree sans student loans. When Burns moved back to Orlando for the job, he intentionally chose his old District 6 stomping grounds, settling in the Isle of Catalina. In 2003, he took over as president and CEO of Health Care Center for the Homeless, which runs Orange Blossom Family Health, providing health services for the underinsured, uninsured and homeless. They offer medical and dental care, mental health and substance abuse services, pediatrics, and even a pharmacy. Since he took over, the company’s number of employees has jumped from 23 to around 150, says Burns. They first specialized in care for the homeless before expanding to aid the underinsured. The budget has ballooned from $1.9 million to $14.7 million. In the early goings, Burns’ staff saw roughly 3,500 patients. Now, they see over 20,000 a year. “Serving the community in my healthcare role for 16 years,” says Burns, “I’ve seen a lot of issues a lot in our community deal with on a daily basis.” He became interested in government work in order to stretch his vow of service to his community beyond healthcare. Given his ability to foster growth, Burns became interested in city affairs, first serving on Orlando’s Municipal Planning Board from 2009-2016. The board approves zoning for what turns out to be a lot of future development for the city, an experience he called “eyeopening.” Burns says he sees tons of potential for growth in District 6 that can be unlocked with “bold, energetic, principled leadership.” The first thing Burns would push if elected is the building of affordable homes on empty, bank-owned lots in the district. He says he’d look to build partnerships with companies like his former benefactor, Disney, and the other massive tourism companies crammed in the district, like Universal Studios. All of those tourism industry staffers need to sleep somewhere. It might be in the interest of tourism companies to have a hand in making that an affordable reality. With every district improvement, Burns swears he’d ward off gentrification pushing residents westward. He supports different approaches, like partnerships with big companies, even community land trust deals, because they can get people into homes quickly. But he would sweat every detail to ensure that vulnerable constituents don’t get priced out. Burns says he’d dedicate his first months in office to community engagement, like through a newsletter with updates. While door-knocking, he says he often heard from people dismayed by how little they know of what is going on at City Hall. “Sometimes, it’s a matter of making that connection,”
says Burns. “We want to make sure we all benefit from the city’s prosperity.” Other common complaints Burns heard on the campaign trail concern road improvements, infrastructure work for less flooding, and the high cost of utility bills. Burns says he’s open to a utility assistance program for seniors and low-to-middle-income residents.
Challenger Gary Siplin
Treasure chest: $130,000 A former member of both the Florida House and Senate, Gary Siplin has thrown his trusty Panama hat into the ring for District 6. That off-white hat is not the only sartorial piece Siplin is known for. During his time in the Senate, Siplin proposed legislation known as the “droopy drawers” law that would ban students in Florida schools from sagging their pants while participating in sports, band or choir classes. He’s demonstrated a great care for students, amassing some $15 million for career opportunity programs. Siplin wants to bring that same care to the District 6 commissionership. Siplin was born and raised in Orlando. A graduate of Jones High School, he studied at universities along the eastern seaboard, acquiring a bachelor’s, master’s and finally a law degree from Duquesne University in Pittsburgh. (He also received an honorary doctorate from Orlando City College in 2003.) He went on to clerk for U.S. District Court judges and attorneys in Miami before moving back to Orlando and starting Siplin Law Firm, which he has been leading ever since. His wife, Victoria, is the Orange County District 6 Commissioner. “Victoria and I prayed on it,” says Siplin of his choice to run. He ultimately decided to join the race in order to bring Orlando’s District 6 the same leadership he sees his wife bring to the Orange County Board. Siplin also started a nonprofit project in partnership with Rebuilding Together Orlando and JMD Global Developers to provide roof repairs and replacements for people who desperately need them but could never afford it. They’ve helped seven seniors with bad roofs, and have a couple more low-income households to help out this fall. He believes he can come up with similar partnerships and solutions for housing, or maintaining housing. If elected, his chief priority is housing. “We need more, as we call it now, workforce housing, as opposed to affordable housing,” says Siplin. He’s against community land trusts, believing that, in the same way the city works out a program to help poor people rent or buy a home, the city can help the same people buy land. On the campaign trail, Siplin says he heard a lot about flooding. “If it rains a little in District 6, it floods,” he says. He’d focus on fixing roads and drainage systems. His other priorities are crime and business development. Siplin sees better street lighting and more kids programs, like after-school initiatives and summer jobs, as a way to deter crime. He also says he and Orlando Police Chief Orlando Rolón have met and get along and would work closely together. Flexing his knack for forming partnerships, Siplin mentions he’s also spoken with I-Drive district attendees about forming a business that would help local employers hire District 6 residents. He says he’d also better connect city government with its residents by holding mobile office hours twice a month at varying locations. “I’ve learned how to manage, how to establish policy in Tallahassee,” says Siplin. “And how to get legislation passed.”

Playwright, actor and entrepreneur David Strauss adds “purrfessional cat wrangler” to his résumé with his newly opened Kitty Beautiful cat café A DENIZEN OF THE KITTY BEAUTIFUL CAT CAFÉ | PHOTO BY SETH KUBERSKY
I am not a natural born cat per-
son. I’m allergic to feline dander; my childhood pets were limited to goldfish and guinea pigs; and when my now-wife’s cats first visited my condo, my chief concern was whether they would crap on the carpet. So it goes to show how completely I’ve been converted into a certified cat lady that I was not just able but eager to conduct an interview last week inside the Kitty Beautiful at 360 State Lane, downtown Orlando’s first cat café. The opportunity to sip authentic New York-style egg creams – made with Winter Park Seltzer and real Fox’s U-Bet chocolate syrup – while surrounded by a dozen hopeful adoptees from the Pet Alliance would have been enough to pique my curiosity. But this cuddle-filled coffee shop clawed its way into my Live Active Cultures column because café co-owner David Strauss has already lived nine lives – and counting – in Orlando’s theater community. While I might be a late-blooming cat lover, David Strauss and his wife Heather – who co-owns the Kitty Beautiful – sound like they’ve been training a lifetime for their new venture. “I grew up with a little orange tabby named Rusty, after Rusty Staub, the baseball player,” Strauss recalls while giving me a tour during the café’s recent soft opening. “We’ve always had usually between two and three cats, pretty much for the last 30 years that we’ve been together.” A pair of their cats at home recently passed away, but Strauss says they hesitated to replace them because “the hope was that if we could finally get this place open, we’d always have 10 or 12 cats here to take care of.” 18
ORLANDO WEEKLY ● OCT. 30-NOV. 5, 2019 ● orlandoweekly.com
Purr-fessional kitten wrangler is a far cry from Strauss’ original career path as a lawyer. The New York City native studied at the University of Virginia before moving to Orlando in the 1990s. After working for a dot-com that “went from three employees to 50 and back down again,” Strauss shifted careers and helped Heather turn her organic co-op into the Orlando Organics online delivery business. As Strauss points out, “Organics went from something that very few people knew about to something you could get in Publix and Target and Walmart, [and] now they all deliver; Amazon can have a selection of stuff to your house in two hours.” Strauss first attracted my attention over a decade ago, not because of cats or kale, but for acting in productions by Greater Orlando Actors Theatre, the Playwrights’ Round Table and Theatre Downtown. Strauss says he “stumbled onto theater 13 years ago” when his child was cast in a Jewish Community Center production of Fiddler on the Roof, and he was recruited to fill in various bit parts: “By the end of the day, I had more lines than half the cast because they gave me every villager.” Shortly after that first production, Strauss was recruited by Fran Hilgenberg to audition for his first major role in Brighton Beach Memoirs at Theatre Downtown, which cemented his love of the stage. “If I’d just done the one show, I don’t know if I would have done it after that,” he says, eulogizing the former Orange Avenue institution as “amazing, and a family – I miss that place so much.” Strauss has been even busier over the years behind the scenes as a playwright.
He credits his start as an author to experiencing T.J. Dawe’s 52 Pickup at the 2007 Orlando Fringe Festival, which inspired him to write Amanda’s Mix Tape, a fictionalized account of how he and his wife met. Two of Strauss’ short scripts that premiered in Playwrights’ Round Table programs have since been published in various short play collections, and his works are regularly licensed for performance by high schools and colleges, with his Dungeons & Dragons parody Doctors & Lawyers, First Edition Rules being the most popular. “It’s kind of fun to think that people are discovering these plays that I wrote just to amuse myself and PRT, and that they still have a life,” he says. The Kitty Beautiful’s grand opening weekend kicks off at 10 a.m. on Friday, Nov. 1, with a ribbon-cutting to be attended by Rep. Anna Eskamani. The three days of events will include a reading of a new catthemed play by Irene L. Pynn on Sunday afternoon. The café plans to host more arts events in the future, including monthly “Mew-vie Nights” and Saturday morning cat yoga classes. “There have been moments during this when we thought the roadblocks were impassable,” Strauss admits, explaining that the café was originally supposed to open by last Fringe, during which he starred in the award-winning Shakespeare’s Terminator the Second. So what would Strauss do if he had that sci-fi saga’s time portal? “I’d tell my younger self, whatever time you think this is going to take to deal with the City of Orlando and contractors, make that 50 percent longer,” says Strauss. skubersky@orlandoweekly.com

GONE WITH THE WIND
At Moroccan Breeze, guests polish off hearty North African staples with gusto BY FAIYAZ KARA
A
sk the average Moroccan about where to find the best Moroccan food and they’ll say “my mom’s house” or “my aunt’s house” or “at my house.” I posed the question to a notso-average Moroccan – Rabii Saber, the James Beard-nominated pastry chef at the Four Seasons Resort Orlando – and, sure as a sirocco, he said “my house.” Even Moroccans in Morocco aren’t a restaurant-going sort. When locals in, say, Marrakech, do venture out to eat, it’s typically at street food stalls, so we felt somewhat authentic walking up to Moroccan Breeze, a stall buried deep inside the gleaming Apna Bazaar on South OBT. The display of ghriba, or Moroccan cookies, had us visualizing dessert right off the bat, but there were scents, serious scents, that amplified the echo of our grumbling guts. Taginestewed lamb, baked b’steeyas, grilled kofta
– the olfactory mishmash overwhelmed, and the ensuing indulgence was heavy. Hearty harira ($3.99) soup with steaming khobz bread was just the beginning. The soup managed to deaden the gastric reverberations some, thanks to its thick, tomatoey blend of chickpeas, lentils and rice. Not receiving lemon wedges on the side was my only quibble. That bread was used to scoop up glorious shreds of zaalouk ($4.49) – roasted eggplant simmered with tomatoes, smoked paprika, cumin, garlic and other spices – along with garlicky steamed-then-stir-fried seasoned carrots. For the meatless set, this soup/bread/ veg combo will leave you glutted, and all for less than $9, a fact owner Habiba Bimekliouen takes great pride in. The seasoned chef with 30-plus years of experience (seven of those at Epcot’s Restaurant Marrakesh) is well-versed in the ways of customer service and cus-
tomer satisfaction, as is her husband Ali. Conversation with the gracious pair flowed as freely as the Moroccan mint tea during our meal, during which complimentary samples were offered, as were suggestions on what to order. I could see them watch our exultant faces after every bite of flaky beef briwat ($4.99), and it seemed to give them as much pleasure as it did us. Spiced ground beef stuffed inside a phyllo-like roll of dough dusted with a powdered sugar … what’s not to like? Then came the lamb tagine ($12.99), an intensely flavored stew slow-cooked in the clay vessel synonymous with Moroccan gastronomy. It was bloody gorgeous, with both the bone-in cut and the lamb shank yielding on contact. There were pitted olives, but not the apricots or prunes or almonds with which the dish is typically dressed. We forgave the omission but, Habiba says, if you make the request before ordering, she’ll gladly accommodate. Ascending to the throne of the offerings here is the “Royal Couscous” ($15.99), one of those dishes that has you whipping out your phone before it arrives at the table. Lamb and chicken sit atop a base of fluffy couscous with snappy merguez sausage, zucchini spears, carrots and potatoes laid to resemble the arches of a crown. This couscous rules. Naturally, we had every intention of ordering an array of those Moroccan cookies to enjoy with our mint tea, but Habiba couldn’t help but offer us samples of her shortbread and semolina wonders baked with everything from cacao and coconut to almonds and pistachios. Many cookies were eaten, and a lot of mint tea was consumed. Stuffed didn’t begin to describe how we felt. Those once-grumbling guts? Well, they no longer grumbled and it’d be a while before they did again. Habiba and Ali looked at us to see if we were capable of more, but I just couldn’t. “Let’s do like a Moroccan breeze,” I said to my dining comrade. After a couple of glazed-over blinks, he shot a knowing look back. “Yeah, let’s blow.”
There’s a new player in the “authentic” Chinese restaurant game. Shining Spice has opened in the old Denny’s/Sumo Japanese Steakhouse space on the corner of Aloma Avenue and State Road 436 in Winter Park … Hungry Pants, the “plant-curious” fast-fine eatery from the Yum Yum Cupcake Truck guys, has softopened at 3421 S. Orange Ave. in the old Carol’s Diner space. Expect normal operating hours to commence Nov. 4 … The Kitty Beautiful, a café where you can purchase coffee, fresh-pressed juices, kombucha, beer, wine and pastries, then go into a separate room to pet cats, has opened downtown next to the Bank of America building … Cucina Pizza & Bar, by the same folks who run Cucina Pizza by Design in West Palm Beach, will move into the space recently vacated by California Tortilla at 55 W. Church St. … Mecatos Bakery & Cafe will open downtown at 20 N. Orange Ave. The Colombian beanery and pastry shop has locations in Waterford Lakes and Lake Underhill … Look for Nékter Juice Bar to open next to Shake Shack sometime next month in the Trader Joe’s plaza in Winter Park … The Bomb Biscuit, a breakfast and lunch spot, has opened on Lee Road near Edgewater Drive.

DUE AMICI College Park gets yet another Italian restaurant and this one is good enough to compete with the rest of the trattorias and pizzerias along Edgewater Drive. Scratch-made pizzas are a highlight, as is the outdoor patio, which has sprung an awning since its days as Kingfish Grill. Open daily. 2124 Edgewater Drive, 407730-7747; $$
WORLD’S MAGIC RESTAURANT The city’s first (to our knowledge) Saudi restaurant serves Bedouin-influenced rice-and-meat staples as well as Saudistyle Indonesian fare. Both gareesh, a savory chicken porridge topped with ghee-slicked caramelized onions, and remarkably thin and crisp beef den den make superior starters. Saudi rice dish mandi lamb and the Indonesian platter piled with everything from beef rendang to mysterious pasta with red sauce are more substantial offerings. The satay sizzles. Ending with passable kunafa is your choice. Open daily 5–9:45 p.m. No alcohol is served. 7044 International Drive, 407-203-3330; $$
HUMBL The pizzas steal the show at this slick new vegan joint in deepest Windermere. The focaccia-like crust stands up to vegetable toppings (sogginess being a classic vegan pizza fail) and those toppings are fantastic: The perversely named “Meat Lovers” has wears roasted cauliflower, shiitake “bacon” slices, fennel-farro “sausage” crumbles and dollops of macadamia-nut “ricotta.” Also of positive note: perfect fries, an Indian-spiced grain bowl and thick-as-aconcrete milkshakes. 5845 Winter Garden Vineland Road, Windermere, 407-3498800; $$
KAIZEN IZAKAYA It’s out with the old and in with the new as the old Amura on Church Street gets a long-overdue rebrand. You’ll find all the trendy pan-Asian trappings of the modern izakaya – ramen, Korean fried chicken, bao, donburi – but quality cuts of Japanese fish as well. The moriawase

HOURGLASS SOCIAL HOUSE Straddling the line between café and food hall, the Hourglass Social House offers a diverse array of food options – Mexican, Vietnamese, French pastries, vegan handhelds – not to mention beverages aplenty. Foxtail Coffee gets the morning crowd jacked, while the market stocks a nice selection of wine, beer, kombucha and juice. Bottomless mimosas are served on weekends from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. Open daily. 2401 Curry Ford Road, 407-930-7308; $$
JAM-ENG Jamaican staples like jerk chicken, oxtail stew, curry chicken and fried whole snapper far outshine the mainly drab offerings of the British side of the menu (baked salmon, cottage pie, ploughman’s sandwiches).

Cynthia Erivo in Harriet PHOTO BY DANA STARBARD
BETTER LATE THAN NEVER Harriet Tubman finally gets the cinematic attention she deserves in Harriet BY MARYANN JOHA N SON
W
e’re so used to our historical figures, our Great Men, requiring a bit of grading-on-a-curve. “Oh, we must forgive So-and-So for that aspect of his life and work, times were different then.” “No, we must not judge Whatshisname by today’s understanding of morality, that’s simply the way things were back in the day.” And yet we still continue to celebrate them and insist upon their importance and mythologize their words and deeds. Meanwhile, one of the great true heroes of American history – someone who needs no justifying or qualifying – has been all but ignored by pop culture, and hence all but left out of the collective American imagination. Perhaps because what she fought for is a grand cause – the physical and existential battle for autonomy, agency and basic humanity of African Americans – that is not yet fully won. Perhaps the fact that everything that Harriet Tubman stood for and continues to symbolize still resonates on so many levels today is – for some, for our
cultural gatekeepers – too harsh a reminder that the ugly past is not yet past. (All the more reason to honor her and remember her, you’d think. The inspiration she offers continues to be very necessary.) Or perhaps it’s “merely” because she was a woman. And black. Perhaps that’s enough – for some – to pretend her story and her legacy don’t really matter. For if we – the big We – were to acknowledge her as a Great Woman, where would it stop? What if there were other Great Women who also must be acknowledged? Why, the White Man might lose his “rightful” central role in the American saga! Anyway, you’d have thought that Hollywood, at least, mightn’t have taken so damn long to see that Tubman’s undeniable, irrefutable heroics are, if nothing else, excellent fodder for big-screen entertainment. Tubman was badass by any measure, but certainly by the action-adventure one: She rescued herself from slavery in 1850s Maryland with a treacherous journey north! She risked her liberty and her very life
sneaking back into the South to bring others to freedom! She worked as a gol’durned spy for the Union Army during the Civil War! This is the stuff of bold, visual storytelling. And it’s all here because now, finally!, director and co-writer (with Gregory Allen Howard) Kasi Lemmons has blessed us with the Tubman origin story. “Origin story” is just the right sort of cinematic introduction Tubman needs to slide her into the epic American narrative. Harriet is solid, conventional filmmaking with a broad sweep, a big-picture overview (no pun intended) that finds a deeply satisfying balance among the contradictory currents of Tubman’s life. The film does not deny the horrific facts of slavery, but this is primarily an entertaining movie-movie experience, one that succeeds in acknowledging Tubman as a vulnerable, flawed human being while also embracing her towering legend and the profound power of what she symbolizes. As Tubman, Cynthia Erivo is an immense presence, deeply engaging and incredibly empathetic; the Broadway musical star even gets to do a bit of singing onscreen. Lemmons and Erivo handle Tubman’s “superpower” – she thought God spoke to her in a very practical way, literally guiding her in her dangerous work to avoid capture – with a smart plausible deniability that allows for whatever interpretation feels best to you. If you want to accept the supernatural, that works, but if, like me, it feels more right to see her seeming precognition as simply sharp instinct and insight, well, that works too. Harriet is a movie of an undeniable mainstream appeal – this is no stodgy costume drama or dry history lesson. Which is so very necessary: I recently met an American – and not a young person in whom such ignorance might not be unexpected – who had never before heard of Harriet Tubman. This is criminal, and as is the way of origin stories, we can hope that Harriet is just the beginning of the stories we tell about her, to begin to rectify our pop-cultural ignorance. My one complaint about the film: not enough spy stuff! There could be a whole movie about just her career as a spy in the Civil War. We – movie lovers and proud Americans alike – absolutely need that sequel. feedback@orlandoweekly.com orlandoweekly.com

OPENING THIS WEEK: Arctic Dogs Here’s one Tucker Carlson is going to have some thoughts about: an animated kids’ flick about intrepid animals who have to save the Arctic from an evil walrus who’s intent on melting the whole thing down. And one of the voices is supplied by Alec Baldwin, no less! But relax, Tucker, because far-left activism is actually not the primary theme here. The presence of Jeremy Renner and James Franco as Baldwin’s co-stars equals “attempted redemption tour for misogynist abusers who are a danger to their loved ones and strangers alike.” Bring the kids!

Motherless Brooklyn This adaptation of the Jonathan Lethem novel concerns a 1950s detective afflicted with Tourette’s. Really, how much would it have sucked to have Tourette’s in the 1950s? Just walking around all the time, never knowing when you’re going to blurt out a stray “Gee willikers!” Edward Norton not only stars in the thing, but directed and wrote it as well. If his past history is any indication, he also rewrote it. Over his own objections. (R) Terminator: Dark Fate James Cameron and Linda Hamilton’s return to the Terminator franchise is being billed as a direct sequel to the first two films that elbows all the intervening ones out of canon. Hey, just like Superman Returns, right? Sorry, you’re not supposed to say that around studio executives without giving them a trigger warning first. (R)
Harriet To me, Kasi Lemmons will always be the interviewer from Fear of a Black Hat, but I can’t deny the success she’s found as a director in the ensuing 26 years. (Damn, it’s been more than a quarter-century since N.W.H. advised us “Don’t Fire Until You See the Whites”? That’s crazy, son!) Anyway, Lemmons’ latest is a biopic of Harriet Tubman, the abolitionist icon who ran the Underground Railroad. Or, as Matt Gaetz would have called it, “a far-left game of identity politics that’s meant to circumvent due process.” (PG-13)
Jesus Is King Experience the oddball wonders of Kanye West’s recent concert in Arizona’s Painted Desert. Sad spoiler for folks who love a happy ending: They let him come back. (NR; playing at Regal Waterford Lakes & IMAX, AMC Altamonte Mall 18 and Regal Pointe Orlando 4DX & IMAX)
Inside Game Scott Wolf plays Tim Donaghy, the NBA ref who went to jail for betting on games. Donaghy said he had been forced to do it by mobsters, but it turned out they weren’t actually full-fledged gangsters. They were just United States Representatives from the Florida Panhandle. (R; opens Friday at Regal Waterford Lakes and IMAX and AMC Dine-In Disney Springs 24)
Pain and Glory Antonio Banderas won the Best Actor award at this year’s Cannes Film Festival for the work he did as a has-been movie director in Pedro Almodóvar’s most recent project. Perennial leading lady Penelope Cruz didn’t walk away with anything, but she flicked her hair back and forth a few times, and all was again right with the world.

SET THE CONTROLS FOR THE HEART OF THE SUN Japanese instrumental freakout trio Transkam return to Orlando BY MAISIE HANEY
P
ropulsive Japanese power trio Transkam have clawed their way out of conservative, noise law-abundant Tokyo and onto an international touring circuit that will see them return to the City Beautiful for the first time since last year’s 11Eleven Fest, this time for a decidedly more intimate engagement with maximal emo purveyors Casket Lottery. The post-rock trio deals in dense webs of melody that build into intricate and explosive force, yet Transkam describes their sound as minimal: “We don’t want the same approach as other artists because we think originality is important, but there are many friends who empathize: In the Sun, Nisennenmondai, Fukuro, Kuruucrew … they are trying a minimal approach too.” Transkam’s instrumental makeup is that of a traditional three-piece – guitarist Tune from Alan Smithee’s Mad Universe, bassist Yukiyo of Tacobonds, and drummer Yana of Numbs – but one in which the three
instruments interlock in total telepathic synchronicity. Transkam’s latest release, EP2, from November 2018, gives off hints of industrial, motorik and shoegaze, yet it also seemingly carries the familiar melody of “Zach’s Song” in School of Rock (almost three minutes into the album’s second track). While discordant and repetitive, Transkam’s melodies rarely get too aggressive, leaning instead toward exciting, disorienting swirls of sound. Transkam’s 2016 EP, Blueshade of the Omegasound, is heavier, taking a more wallof-sound approach to emphasizing riff and rhythm. Proggy riffs and often mantric basslines are piled incessantly atop throbbing drums, for pure zone-out bliss. Even so, as “Japanese people and law are not generous with noise,” law and custom in Japan have a massive influence on the ability of DIY artists to host house shows in Tokyo. For this reason, members of Transkam say DIY is “hard, but very

Fox Fest
good.” So instead, they take the leap of faith that is a DIY-centric touring circuit in the United States, a circuit that is leading them straight to Gainesville’s annual punk explosion, the Fest, which Transkam will play the night before this Orlando gig. An excellent musical debriefing, if there ever were one. Asked why the DIY scene in Tokyo is so impenetrable, Transkam responds that there are many variables at play, like the current economic recession. They liken the situation in Tokyo to today’s New York City: “It’s easy to play in the Tokyo underground scene if it’s OK with [a very] small guarantee. Maybe it’s the same reason we can’t [play] in New York.” There are more opportunities for underground artists in Tokyo now than were available a few years ago, but Japanese musicians are fascinated by the idea of playing house shows overseas (a generalization proposed by Transkam). While Will’s Pub is no house or basement, it has the requisite grit, so next week, help make the dream of these sound alchemists a reality. music@orlandoweekly.com orlandoweekly.com

Scene tectonics have shifted
such that I don’t go downtown as often as I used to, but I’m a longtime downtown OG. On my way to the show below, I noticed a memorial message to Marko Saljanin on the Beacham’s big marquee, which led me to the news that the jolly patriarch of downtown’s Planet Pizza succumbed to cancer on Oct. 15, and I’m crushed by it. There’s a reason I’m writing this instead of one of our food or news writers. Sure, the man was a successful entrepreneur. Even as the smallest pizza joint downtown, Planet Pizza has proven the most enduring and beloved one. Saljanin did very well for his family, who’ve in turn been able to expand into other notable downtown ventures. Far more than just some enterprising businessman, though, he leaves a deeper print in the city’s cultural fabric. Planet Pizza defines the hopping corner of Orange Avenue and Washington Street just as much as historical nightlife institutions like Independent Bar, the Social and the Beacham, which says much about its place in downtown life. As a proprietor, Saljanin was the shining opposite of faceless, with a larger-than-life radiance that etched him permanently into the culture and history of Orlando. The loss will hit anyone who’s been a downtown nightlife regular any time in the past three decades, but it’s got an especially personal resonance to me. It’s not the probably thousands of delicious slices of his that I’ve enjoyed over the years, it’s the booming warmth he personally shot my way every time I even passed by on the sidewalk. Whether it’s his handshake, a pat
Glam, punk, power pop – it’s all in there. But on stage, this is pure rock & roll. A Redd Kross performance is an exuberant display of true belief and eternal triumph on the back or just a big, beaming smile, Marko’s presence is forever as much a part of my scene as any beloved venue, club or bar. I’ll miss him like hell. We all will.
MELVINS AND REDD KROSS, THE SOCIAL, OCT. 21
A prime bill of music legends is always a momentous happening, but this one was uniquely involved. Like a living carousel of American rock history, this concert featured bands that have common lineage not just as fellow underground lifers but as royalty whose bloodlines actually overlap. This tour takes full advantage of the beautifully incestuous relationship between the Melvins and Redd Kross, one that’s now resulted in an entire rhythm section shared. Since 2015, Redd Kross bassist Steven McDonald has been an official, card-carrying member of the Melvins. And Melvins drummer Dale Crover is now a full-time Redd Kross inductee who just made his recorded debut on their new album, Beyond the
Door. Sure, the two bands might seem somewhat strange bedfellows were it not for their intertwined history, but it made for a night of some motley brilliance. Progenitors of both sludge metal and grunge yet experimental far beyond either genre, the Melvins have managed the feat of being constant shapeshifters in their long career while keeping their essence resolutely intact. Not sure if the incandescence of Steven McDonald is having an osmotic effect on them or not, but this was a notably upbeat set from the notoriously noxious band. Still, they were 100 percent Melvins – true, uncompromising and blistering even after more than three decades. L.A. underground icons Redd Kross, who go back even earlier than the Melvins, are on a new recording stretch this decade. Currently, they’re riding high with the mighty Dale Crover in their ranks and on the wind of the aforementioned Beyond the Door, their first album in seven years, released over the summer on Merge Records. Glam, punk, power pop – it’s all in there. But on stage, they’re pure rock & roll. Almost four decades in, a Redd Kross performance remains an exuberant display of true belief and eternal triumph. It’s a timeless splash into a golden oasis that gives, affirms and, clearly in their case, prolongs life itself. The Redd Kross sound has always been about calibration and perfection, not upending experimentation. The added power of Crover as the rhythmic chassis of the band is undeniable, and an especially exhilarating gear-up for the band. baolehuu@orlandoweekly.com orlandoweekly.com

For Halloween, though, the group comes a little closer to home with a screening at the Plaza Live. Avowed superfan Marc With a C performs during the preshow, which also includes games and a costume contest.

EVENTS
MUSIC
Discover the heart of Greece while munching on gyros, baklava, saganaki (flaming cheese) and other authentic cuisine during the annual Greek Festival at the Holy Trinity Greek Orthodox Church of Greater Orlando. Expect a weekend full of lively music by the Greek trio A Night in Athens and the sounds of skillful finger-picking on the strings of a bouzouki or guitar. Enjoy the ancient dance performances of Holy Trinity’s Hellenic dance troupe and Jr. Hellenic Dance troupe, where students of the dance program dress head to toe in traditional folk costumes. It’s sure to be a cultural experience for newbies to the world of Orthodox traditions. Going home without a giant container of Greek olives is basically a sin. – Sarah Jennifer Harding
As Ministry once sagely proclaimed, “Everyday Is Halloween,” and by that logic, the best time of the year doesn’t end on Thursday. So it’s fortuitous that Miami deathrockers Obsidian are coming to Orlando with the requisite spooky vibes faster than big-box stores can mark down rubber masks and Halloween candy. When Obsidian visited Orlando a couple of months ago, they played a raucous and rapturous set at Uncle Lou’s that brought to mind the eldritch theatrics of Rozz Williams-era Christian Death – they even covered an early single from Only Theatre of Pain – and 45 Grave, with a lethal punk bite. And damn, their look is straight out of the Batcave in 1983.

Enzian screens a live taping of Phoebe Waller-Bridge’s onewoman stage show, the source material for her massive TV hit. The popularity of Fleabag is almost impossible to articulate – sex addict runs slowly failing guinea-pig-themed café while failing/being failed by her family? – yet it seems to be universal, evidenced as much by Waller-Bridge’s recent Emmy win as by the torrent of social media adulation. The appeal of #HotPriest and #FleabagJumpsuit are obvious, but it says something fucking wonderful about TV-watching humanity that the lot of us were mesmerized and moonstruck by this spiky story of grief and selfdestruction. – Jessica Bryce Young

The film – based on the true story of Sada Abe, a woman who killed and dismembered her lover in 1930s Japan – broke so many taboos back in 1976 that the negatives had to be smuggled out of Japan for editing.

Danish metal legend King Diamond, of Mercyful Fate repute, hit fans with the ol’ one-two this year: a new album in the works, The Institute – his first since 2007 – and a North American tour. And his devout followers will have a setting befitting a monarch in which to behold his unholy glory: the Walt Disney Theater at the Dr. Phillips Center! The King promises new material and a brand-new stage show, so expect to be floored and deafened. We saw him live years ago and he treated a club like a stadium, in full pushing-Grandma-off-the-stage glory, so we can’t even imagine what he has in store for this ornate setting. King Diamond is responsible for inspiring so much crucial metal, from Mayhem to Metallica, that your presence is required, peasant. – Matthew Moyer with Uncle Acid & the Deadbeats, Idle Hands | 7 p.m. | Walt Disney Theater, Dr. Phillips Center for the Performing Arts, 445 S.

B Y DA N S AVAG E
My little dick has always held me back. I didn’t date in high school because I couldn’t stand the thought of girls discussing my tiny manhood. That said, I’ve adapted fairly well and become skilled with my tongue and hands. The biggest problem is that my dick is just small enough that the head pokes straight forward and can be seen through my pants. I never tuck in a shirt because of it. Because I am always in oversize shirts that hang past my waist, I never look professional. I’ve tried stuffing with socks and it didn’t work. Do you know of anything that can mask a pathetic johnson? I’d love to move up in the world. Physically Embarrassing Nub Isn’t Sufficient Have you considered packing? Trans men, drag kings, butch dykes and even straight cis women experimenting with gender expression will sometimes pack – that is, wear “packing dildos” that create the appearance of a masculine bulge. Packers are modeled on soft cocks, not hard cocks, and they come in a range of sizes and colors. So long as you make it clear to new partners that the bulge in your pants is not a prologue, there’s no reason why you couldn’t pack, just as there’s no reason why you and other guys with small dicks can’t strap on a regular dildo when your partner wants a deep dicking. I’m a mid-20s straight woman, and there’s a pattern in my life that I’m trying to break: Since high school, I’ve repeatedly ended up being friends with wonderful men who I shared an obvious sexual tension with at the start of our “friendships.” (Our mutual friends often noted the sexual tension.) Not a single one has ever turned into more than a one-off drunken kiss. Maybe it’s who I’m picking, but I’m starting to think that I’m the problem. An ex of mine (who I met on Bumble) told me that I give off “don’t touch me” vibes. Looking back, I can see that all my relationships started in settings where romantic interest was implied – apps, blind dates, etc. I’ve been spending a lot of time with a classmate of mine. We get along well, and he’s hot and single. How do I (for lack of a better term) seduce him? Dreading The Friend Zone Don’t seduce, ask. Don’t put the moves on someone, use your words – or think of your words as your move, DTFZ. Since you give off “don’t touch me” vibes (that’s some valuable feedback from an ex!), and since we’ve asked men to do a better job of perceiving and respecting a woman’s “don’t touch me” vibes, you will have to make your interest clear and unambiguous: “Hey, classmate, we’ve been spending a lot of time together, and I was wondering if you might be interested in going on a date sometime.” 40
I have had a very hot, sexy bodybuilder friend with benefits for many, many years. He’s Dominant and into really intense bondage and SM, and it’s fantastic. The harder he goes on me, the more aroused he gets. Sometimes he comes three times in one session, always with me in super-intense and painful bondage positions. It turns him on so much – and it turns me on, too. The thing is, he hates my dick. We have so much fun during our sessions, but he won’t touch my dick and won’t let me touch it, either. Bodybuilder Is Neglecting Dick Ignoring your dick and not letting you come and then seeing you crawl back for more abuse is most likely part of the power trip that turns your hot, sexy friend on, BIND, and he’s unlikely to start lavishing attention on your dick on my orders. And since it sounds like he gives you plenty of hot JO material for after your bondage sessions, it’s not like there isn’t something in it for you, right? I am a public-school teacher in the United States. I love teaching, and I want to teach for the rest of my career. I am very good at it, but unfortunately that doesn’t affect my pay in the slightest. After 10 years of poverty, I’m getting tired of going without. I thought perhaps I could do some sex work on the side to help pay off my student loans and get some more money for classroom supplies. Thanks to de facto segregation, all of my students are one specific ethnicity and very poor, so I think I could easily avoid accidentally servicing a parent or relative of a student. But how on earth does someone safely and discreetly embark on sex work as a side hustle? Need a Second Job That Actually Pays Someone you work with, someone you went to school with, someone you used to date, someone who lives in your apartment building – it’s not just parents and relatives of your students you need to worry about, NASJTAP. Vindictive exes and small-minded, sex-negative busybodies of all stripes can be a problem for sex workers. And since the consequences of being outed as a sex worker are always swift and severe for someone who works with children, you’ll want to find another side hustle. You should also get out there and support Democratic presidential candidates who are calling to forgive or cancel student-loan debt, like Elizabeth Warren and/or Bernie Sanders. And, yes, it’s possible to support more than one candidate at this stage of the political process. My girlfriend and I have been going strong for almost 10 months. She told me that in the past she dated only older men – her teachers, her boss, a police officer, and other older

men who were, in her own words, “flat-out wrong for me” (two of them were married). I am interested in your take on why she is dating me now. I’m a couple of years younger than she is – she is 30, and I am 28. She says she sees a future with me and I’m unlike anyone she’s ever met. Can what someone likes change in this way? The Younger Man You may be the exception – the rare younger man your girlfriend finds attractive – or it could be that she was never attracted exclusively to older men. Just because someone dated a string of one type of person (older, younger, taller, shorter, maler, femaler), it doesn’t follow that someone isn’t interested in other types, too. Someone realizing they’re attracted to more types of people or acting on long-standing attractions to other types of people doesn’t mean they’ve changed, TYM, it means they’ve grown. I’m a 21-year-old woman. Yesterday I talked to a 26-year-old guy who won’t do cunnilingus but loves to get blow jobs. My friends judged him harshly. Does this go against the rule that people should be able to do what makes them feel good in bed without being judged? Guys who refuse to give oral sex but want to receive it make us feel as if our pleasure is not as important as theirs. Please tell me what you think. Desperate Clitoris I think there are enough women out there who don’t like having their pussies eaten – some struggle with insecurity and shame, others simply don’t enjoy the sensation – that there’s no reason for this guy to inflict himself on women who do like having their pussies eaten. And if making your partner feel good doesn’t make you feel good, then you’re a lousy fucking lay. All that said, I agree that people should be able to do what makes them feel good in bed without being judged. But if what you’re doing in bed – or refusing to do in bed – makes other people feel bad about themselves or their bodies, well, then you should be judged harshly.
